📢 Plush Giveaway Overview! 📢
4 months ago – Fri, Nov 01, 2024 at 06:20:45 PM

Hello Wild Ones,


🎊 If you're new to the crew, welcome! 🎊

And if BackerKit and crowdfunding are old hat for you... welcome all the same! This is the first update for the Monty Mothman plush campaign. While updates may be slow at first, they’ll pick up once the prototype is confirmed and the campaign begins. In this update, I’ll cover what to expect with this campaign and outline the dates, rules, and tips for the five upcoming plush giveaways. 


👋 If We Haven't Met... 👋

Hello, I'm L (she/her) and I run WildnCrafty Designs and Plushpanions. I have been designing and selling digital and physical merch officially for nearly four years, now, but of course I have been drawing all of my life. Last year, I realized that I could combine my love for design and love of plushies into creating my own! Thus, here we are, on Plushpanion #2 and I couldn't be more thrilled to be working on this with you. Thank you for your support! 💚

Please feel free to give me a follow at any of the socials on my "carrd": https://wncdesigns.carrd.co/


✍️ As of Right Now ✍️

I'm working on all the pledges and goodies you’ll receive when pledging to Mothman’s campaign, including some exclusive free pins. The first pin is available to those who back the campaign within the first 48 hours, and another pin will go to backers of the previous Kidd Krampus plush campaign. 👀 You can collect both free pins if you meet all requirements!

Here’s a sneak peek mockup of the Monty Mothman Early Bird stamp pin—see the other pin on our Launch Page!




🕯️ Monty Mothman Plush 🕯️

The Monty prototype is still being refined, as he has a lot of unique shapes, colors, and details to perfect. I can’t wait to share the final look with you once it’s ready!




📃 Campaign Overview 📃

This will be an "Unlocking Campaign," meaning Monty Mothman is our initial funding goal, set at $8,000. Once reached, stretch goals will be added to unlock additional moth designs. Your pledges will consist of general plush orders like "One Plush," "Two Plushes," and so on. Once the campaign is complete and we know which designs are unlocked, you’ll be able to select your plushies through the survey you’ll receive.

For example, if you pledge "Three Plushes" and designs 1-4 were unlocked, you could choose any combination from those designs—three of design 1, or one of design 1 and two of design 3, etc. The design options will be revealed through our mini-event Plush Giveaways!


🎁 Plush Giveaways! 🎁

There will be five plush giveaways, one for each silhouetted character in the Eclipse Pals logo:




Mark Your Calendars! 

Updates will post at: 12p PDT / 1p MDT / 2p CDT / 3p EDT / 7p UTC





How it Works:

 🦋 On each giveaway update post on BackerKit, respond with your guess of the moth species.
 🦋 The updates will be posted on the community page and you’ll receive an email notification if you follow the campaign.
 🦋 The first person to guess correctly will win a free plush*! Winners will be confirmed with a "Congratulations" reply to their comment. 

Rules:

❗ One guess per giveaway round—only your first guess will be counted.
